“Making women a commodity and an object of gratification in the Western world is most likely among the Zionist plots aiming to destroy human society,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
Men and women are no different when it comes to “ascent to spiritual positions, the power of leadership and the capability to lead humankind,” the Leader added.
The Leader also warned against following the Western version of gender equality, saying it has led to corruption.
"Today, Western thinkers and those who pursue issues such as gender equality regret the corruption which it has brought about," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
